BOSTON – A Holyoke man plead guilty today in federal court in Springfield to distributing heroin.
Jayson Quinones, 36, pleaded guilty to distributing and possessing with intent to distribute heroin. U.S. District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni scheduled sentencing for Sept. 28, 2020.

Assistant United States Attorney Todd E. Newhouse of Lelling’s Springfield Branch Office is prosecuting the case.
